Chicken Soup Recipe
Chicken soup the proverbial cure all for everything from colds, flu to feeling out of sorts. I love this easy home chicken soup recipe because it is easy, fast, delicious and nutritious. Change it up as you wish with different veggies and seasonings, just remember that you do need the chicken. If there happens to be any leftovers, they go immediately in the freezer for another meal. You can add almost any vegetables to the soup that you have in the fridge. Though there is nothing original in the food world I kind of made up this recipe as I went along by adding different spices to see what flavors would emerge. Whenever I tell my husband I am going to make this rather hodgepodge soup he cannot wait to eat it.
Lots of Greens in the soup

Wow. I love Chicken Soup and here is sometime new to do with. Thanks for sharing. Will surely try this.
Chicken soup is something my hubby really loves when the weather is cold. I got some new inspiration to add to my usual chicken soup recipe from you, Carol. Thanks. I never thought to add ginger or curry powder. I do put a dash of red pepper and Worchestershire sauce in mine. We had a big bowl of chicken soup tonight. Hearty and filling.

Hi Carol... after reading this I think soup is on the menu for tonight... For me it is one of those clean out the fridge soups, you know where everything is game for the pot. Maybe a little unethical but I will tell you a soup that will stick to your ribs... I do need to try this one though...

I haven't tried putting kale in chicken soup, I'm going to give it a try. This chicken soup recipe seems easy to make; most of the people I know call kale -- "greens." (smile)
Oh what a delicious introduction, Carol... So healthy yet tasty sounding and this is perfect soup season.
Thank you for sharing. Voted UP and UABI. Hugs, Maria
What a great looking recipe. I have never used tomatoes in my chicken soup before either but I am certainly going to give it a try. Thanks for the tips and the great future meal plan.
Yummy!
Hi Carol... now that sounds just about perfect for the weather we are having...

This looks really good. I bet this would work really well in the crockpot as well, and I really like the idea of putting servings in the freezer for later meals. It's nearing Fall and Winter now -- time for these hearty stews and casseroles! Thanks for sharing. Voted up, interesting, useful.

Thanks so much for voting, pinning and liking. Kale is so healthy with calcium, magnesium and other vitamins..but it has to be cooked well or it is tough and bitter. I buy it often...Hope you enjoy.
This is wonderful addition for my hub recipes. It is my first time to see kale and I will try to look for it in walmart. Voted up, interesting and I will pin it. Thanks.
